You always look fab in the clothes you make. I suspect it is a combination of not giving up until you're happy with it, and you know how to wear clothes to flatter you. Both are grownup life skills, IMO. Only thing missing from this post is a closeup of that fabric for a bit more detail.

My gosh Kim the dress is so beautiful! It fits you perfectly and the photos are gorgeous too. Great shoe choice as well! I aim to one day get into dressmaking and hope I can find dresses that suit me this well xxx
